It has now been more than three weeks since the worst mass shooting in modern American history, and the effort by Congress to ban bumps stocks, those devices used by the gunman, has not gone anywhere. NPR's Geoff Bennett reports on why.

Republicans who might have been leery of supporting the bipartisan Dream Act got a more conservative-friendly option this week in the form of a new bill dubbed the SUCCEED Act (Solution for Undocumented Children through Careers, Employment, Education and Defending our nation).

President Trump is about to make his debut at an institution he has often berated. For the first time, he will attend the annual United Nations General Assembly in New York, which brings together leaders of the 193 member nations for a week of meetings and speeches.

But it's a "new day" at the U.N., said U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
